New York Rangers Alumni Lend Star Power to Annual Fundraising Event Which Benefits Home Away from Home for Families Battling Pediatric Cancer for Ronald McDonald® House New York

NEW YORK, February 11, 2013 — There's very little that can rival the magic that happens when the NHL's legendary New York Rangers hit the ice; especially when it's in celebration of the annual Skate with the Greats charity event to benefit Ronald McDonald® House New York. In its 19th year, Skate with the Greats once again took place on Friday, February 1st at New York City's famed Rink at Rockefeller Center, raising more than $800,000. The funds raised will help support the facility, which provides a home-away-from home for families staying in New York City while their children undergo active treatment for cancer.

Originally established with the support of alumni greats and longtime volunteers Rod Gilbert and Brian Leetch, the event included Mark Messier, Michael Richter, Ron Duguay, Nick Fotiu, Adam Graves, Ron Greschner, Stephane Matteau, Pete Stemkowski, and Gilles Villemure. Olympic Figure Skating Gold Medalist Sarah Hughes, and her sister, Silver Medalist Emily Hughes also joined the families and supporters of Ronald McDonald House New York for the event. The Rangers participation is made possible through a partnership with the Garden of Dreams Foundation, a non-profit charity that works closely with the Rangers and all areas of Madison Square Garden to make dreams come true for kids in crisis.

This year's title sponsor was RBC Capital Markets, with additional sponsorship from Bloomberg, Zurich, and PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP (PwC).

"Community involvement has long been an important part of the culture at RBC," said Mark Standish, president & co-CEO of RBC Capital Markets. "Our partnership with Ronald McDonald House New York is a cornerstone in our commitment to give back to the community and also helps to build awareness of RBC in the U.S., particularly here in New York. We're honored to have partnered with the Ronald McDonald House for the past six years."

New York Rangers Legends signed autographs for supporters and their families at the event.

"There's nothing quite like being in the midst of Rangers fans - their energy and enthusiasm is so contagious and uplifting - to help kick off the year. For that reason, Skate with the Greats is one of our most significant events because of its uniqueness," said William T. Sullivan, president & CEO of Ronald McDonald® House New York. "An event of this magnitude would not be possible without the generous support of our partner organizations, RBC Capital Markets, Bloomberg, Zurich Financial Services and PwC. We are eternally grateful to these organizations and, of course, to the New York Rangers who are the heart and soul of this event year after year."
